Fire from Ice.

From, the British Journal of Photography
The London correspondent of lie Montteur
de la Photographic writes to that journal that
in the middle of the winter that has just elapsed,
a student made lens of ice, with which he Int
the pipes of some of the skaters on the Serpen-
tine by means of the solar rays-an experiment,
he says, which was first performed in the polar
regions by DR.. Scoresby, to the great astonish-
ment of the sailors, for they did not understand
why the ice did not freeze the beams of the sun.
We may remark that Prof. Tyndall at times
would set fire at the Royal Institution TO little
heap of gunpowder with rays from the electric
arc concentrated upon the powder by means of
lens of ice
His explanation was that although ice absorbs
rays of certain wave lengths, and is gradually
melted thereby, other waves it does not absorb,
and these latter produce the heating effect at
the focus of the lens 1t is wholly question of
the relative motions of the molecules of frozen
water and the motions of the waves of light:
when there is dscord between the two the
discordant waves pass through the ice without
absorption.

Horace Greeley's Humor.
Lso.a. p1,A.o Dr.

Mr. Greeley's humor was of peculiar sort,
but it was allied to genius. One evening an as
sociate editor of the Tribune accosted him as
he came into his desk with some such question
as this:
Didn't you know, Mr. Greeley, that you made
dreadful blunder I'm one of your statistical
editorials this morning.
NO; how was itg'' said Mr.. Greeley.
why, you said something about Heidsck
and champagne? Don't you know Heidsick is
champagne!"
WELL" said Mr., Greeley quietly; Il am the
only editor of this paper that could make that
mistake"
On another occasion a person who wished to
have little fun at the expense of his consis-
tency said, in group where Mr.. Greeley was
standing:
We have drunk great deal of brandy and wa
ter together
Yes, said Mr.. Greeley, "that is true enough.
You drank the brandy and drank the water. 81

Love and Misery,
From, the Paris Morning Ne,c,

From the Paris Morning Net0s.
A very sad ending to- two young lives is re-
ported. M. Julian P, lieutenant of hussars,
fell in love with a young girl. AS she had not
the regulation dowry he could not marry her
and hold the commission. He left the army
and married. The young couple came to Paris,
and the husband obtained situation at 1906.
per month Together they struggled on, till the
poor young wife fell ill. The monthly pittance
would not pay for the food and medicines
necessary for her. The husband got into debt,
and his credit was stopped. Finally he found
himself confronted with the alternative of see
ing his beloved wife die of starvation, or of
stealing the milk that alone could keep her
before police magistrate, the latter had pity
on him and let him go. He returned to his
wife's bedside. only in time to receive her last
sigh. He determined not to survive her, and in
a few moments lay dead by her side, having
blown out his brains.

A Queer Colorado Wedding.
From tie LeaduilIe Democrat.

FTUWt tstV I1tUUUEftS DtNWUCTWt.
On the arrival Of the Salt Lake express at
Salida an aged looking man of dissipated, ap-
pearance, accompanied by a handsome young
woman, stepped from the train, and, repairing
to the Monte Christie hotel requested that a
minister be summoned, as they desired to be
married. This was complied with. and soon the
twain were made one The newly married
wife retired to the privacy of the chamber
which had been assigned the couple. Not so,
however, with the husband. He proceeded to
fill up on whisky.
On returning tothe hotel the man actually
forgot that he had been married. He went up
into the parlor and sank into drunken slum-
Der on the sofa, entirely forgetting that his
young wife was in an agonizing suspense on ac-
count of his not returning.
Next morning when she learned the true state
of affairs she paid the hotel bill and left the
town in disgust before her lately made husband
was awake.

be settled by putting the men to work in

There are two points, however, which our
correspondent seems to have overlooked.
Ehe contracts of the State with the lessees
are still in full force, and should the Chatta-
nooga property be sold its proceeds must be
applied to the debt.

Cotton in ,Japan

United States Consul Jarnigan has made
an interesting report on the growth and
manufacture of cotton in Japan From his
statement it appears that the industry is by
nc means new one, its introduction ante
dating the discovery of America by several
hundred years, though it was subsequently
abandoned and not again resumed until the
sixteenth century. The cotton plant is said
to have been brought to Japan originally
from India, and like the staple now grown
in that country. the japanese production is
much inferior to American cotton. The
amount produced, however, is con-
siderable - 1874, 63s, 200 pounds in 1884
the last year for which a
report is made. This is a smaller amount
than was raised several years ago by many
million pounds. The importation of cotton
from China, however, is very large, amount
ing to five times as much as is produced at
home. There are in the country about
twenty prosperous spinning mills, and their
number is increasing. The cotton of Japan
and China being entirely consumed at home,
they are not often referred to as cotton.
growing countries 1t will be seen, how
ever, that their production is considerable.
